Digital healthcare: the future.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 57 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Digital healthcare offers a huge range of possibilities and may improve the quality of patient care. The traditional paradigm of clinical history, examination, differential diagnosis and treatment may be improved by tools such as machine learning, mobile applications and sensors, wearables, and telehealth. The recent pandemic has accelerated the move towards this future, however, important concerns remain. These include ensuring that new technologies are assessed effectively and are introduced thoughtfully, data are unified into care records, and, ultimately, digital tools are underpinned with appropriate clinical support. Patients must benefit without worsening workload for the clinician. Old barriers may be overcome but new challenges will be faced, in particular, ensuring the promise of better care for those who lack access to smart phones and the internet will be crucial. Clinicians must continue to advocate for patients and their colleagues as we embrace the future of digital healthcare.
